Vsc Trc And Engine Management Light

[carinafellow]

Hi All

I have a 54 plate avensis 4d4 T Spirit, occasionally when I pull away the engine almost stalls and then I have no acceleration, turning the ignition off and back on cures it. but three warning lights come on VSC. TRC and the engine management light. After a few starts the lights go out and back to normal this happens every so often,

Any one experienced the same'

Cheers

A very familiar fault, caused by the EGR valve becoming clogged. I have added the following links from the forum:

And a youtube clip:

Search for EGR in the and lots of responses will appear. Also there is mention of the MAFF sensor causing issues.

Get codes read via OBD2 code reader.

You need to get a code reader and one that can read the ABS computer codes. On my car the same symptom was caused by a fault in the the YAW RATE SENSOR fault located under the passenger seat. Only fitted on higher end models incl T Spirit. It could still be the EGR valve and if this has not been cleaned in the last 40K milles its worth doing in any case.
